William "Bill" Raymond Cook, a beloved father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away peacefully on Sunday, March 22nd, 2026, at the age of 70. Born on Wednesday, May 25th, 1955, in Indianapolis, Indiana, Bill was a resident of Rockville, IN, where he spent many years surrounded by family and friends.

He is survived by his loving children, Amanda Cook, Lisa (James) Cook, and William (Kelly) Cook; siblings, Tony, Kathy, Glenda, Anna and Margie; long time companion, Sylvia Conley.  Bill was a proud grandfather to Chrissy (William), Jonathan (Haven), Jessica, Steven (Destinie), Daysha, Kendall, Jason, Mercedes, Isaiah (Myra), Raeleigh, Destiny, Khloe, Karter, and Kaiser. His legacy continues through his great-grandchildren, Cruz, Gage, Wren, Aniya, Aaron, Bella, Raegan, Emma, Steven, Kara, and Olivia; many nieces and nephews who will carry forward his spirit and love.

Bill was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Wanda Cook, his daughter, Janet Cook, his sister, Veronica Goodlet, and his parents, Raymond Cook and Jacqueline and Ronnie Goodlet. Their memories will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved them.

Billy lived a life rooted in simple joys and deep connections. Billy was an operation manger at a salvage yard for many years, leading a life filled with stories, hard work, and heart that gives inspiration to the life that he created today paving a path in who they are now.

Billy cherished every moment spent with his beloved wife Wanda Cook. He found his greatest peace at Raccoon Lake with his family, whether out on the water enjoying a quiet day of boating or relaxing at the cabin he lovingly called home. Surrounded by nature and the people he loved most, Billy’s life was a testament to devotion, warmth, and a life well lived.
